Michelle Obama has no Desire to be a Politician!

Michelle O. has announced it once and for all. She will not be a future candidate, despite her very high approval rating: 70 percent. A figure to rival that of Barack, which is hovering around 50 percent on average, but was 43 percent this week. Economic figures at half-mast, weak employment, the debt ceiling common knowledge. The First Lady has to deal with all this, and now tells us more.

During a rare public interview in AARP magazine with Jill Biden, wife of the vice president, she didn’t really surprise anyone, but she made it clear that she has no political aspirations and that she has much to do in her role as first lady. She is available for the 44th [president of the United States] and the re-election campaign. And she announced this to a target audience of seniors over 50, who like the AARP and vote.

In the September/October issue she is personal and definite: “what I’ve learned as a woman growing up, getting older, is you’ve got to know who you are. And a politician — it’s never been who I was or wanted to be.” She said it.

The campaign against obesity in American children and their parents, balanced nutrition, her recent visit to the families of those serving in the military, her community work … all of these activities, in addition to those of the wife of a ‘prez’ and the mother to daughters Malia and Sasha, make for a full life, and one feels in her an extreme dedication and a no less important difficulty in grappling with certain aspects of her public life.

For example, she struggles with the obligation to share her husband with the world. “You get a little selfish sometimes. But every time I get irritated, or feel a little lonely or tired, I just think this is our duty.”

Good girl! At Madame Figaro we should rejoice: Michelle is perfect.

So we won’t find the next presidential replacement for 2016 among the Democrats — not Michelle, not Jill, not Hillary. And maybe it’s up to the Republicans to be creative in their attempts to promote Michele Bachmann as a candidate for 2012.
